Best Long Men's Hairstyles for Winter & Where to Get Them in Austin

Winter in Austin might not bring snow, but it does bring cooler temps, and the perfect excuse to grow out your hair. Whether you're going for the classic flow, a textured shag, or something in between, longer hair can look sharp, stylish, and effortlessly cool.

But here's the thing: long hair still needs upkeep. Without the right cut, shape, and maintenance, it can go from intentional to unkempt fast.

At Sorek Barbershop, we specialize in long men's hairstyles: cuts that look good growing out and even better once they've arrived.

Top Long Hairstyles for Men This Winter

1. The Flow

A timeless look that's all about movement. Hair is typically swept back or to the side, with enough length to tuck behind the ears or let loose.

• Best for: Wavy or straight hair
• Maintenance: Medium. Requires regular trims to keep shape
• Styling tip: Use a light pomade or sea salt spray for texture

2. The Shoulder-Length Cut

Bold and versatile, this length works for nearly any face shape when cut right. It can be worn down, tied back, or styled with a middle part.

• Best for: Thick or wavy hair
• Maintenance: Medium to high. Needs regular conditioning
• Styling tip: Let it air dry for natural texture, or blow dry for more polish

3. The Man Bun / Top Knot

Practical and stylish, the man bun keeps hair out of your face while showing off length. Works best when the sides are kept clean (either trimmed or slicked back).

• Best for: All hair types
• Maintenance: Low day-to-day, but the hair itself needs care
• Styling tip: Use a good conditioner and avoid tight elastics that can cause breakage

4. The Layered Shag

A modern take on a '70s classic. Layers add movement and reduce bulk, giving you that effortlessly cool, rock-and-roll vibe.

• Best for: Wavy or curly hair
• Maintenance: Medium. Layers need reshaping every 6-8 weeks
• Styling tip: Scrunch with a texturizing product and let it do its thing

5. The Curtain Cut

A middle-parted style that frames the face. It's clean, balanced, and works well as a transitional style while growing out shorter cuts.

• Best for: Straight to wavy hair
• Maintenance: Low to medium
• Styling tip: Blow dry away from the face for volume and shape

How to Maintain Long Hair in Winter

Long hair needs more attention than a buzz cut. Here are some tips to keep it healthy through the colder months:

• Condition regularly: Dry winter air can leave hair brittle. Use a quality conditioner every wash.
• Don't over-wash: Washing every day strips natural oils. Aim for 2-3 times a week.
• Get regular trims: Even if you're growing it out, trimming the ends every 8-10 weeks prevents split ends and keeps shape.
• Protect from the elements: Wind and cold can damage hair. A beanie or hat helps, just avoid ones that cause too much friction.
